Direct communication with your personal injury attorney
At The Masjedian Law Firm, clients work directly with Brian Masjedian on their personal injury matter. A free initial case review is an opportunity to explain what happened, ask questions, and discuss whether the firm can help.
What direct attorney communication means here
When evaluating an injury lawyer, ask who will assess your matter, explain your options, and discuss important decisions with you. At this firm, Brian is the attorney clients work with. Administrative assistance can support the process, but it does not replace your opportunity to discuss legal questions with your attorney.
Direct access does not mean an instant reply at every hour. Hearings, meetings, and work on a case can affect availability. Ask about the best contact method and expected response timing at the start so both sides have a clear understanding.
Five questions to ask any injury attorney
- Who will be the attorney handling my case? Ask for the name and how you can contact that person.
- How will I receive updates? Discuss your preferred way to communicate and how to raise a time-sensitive concern.
- What happens when an offer is made? Ask how options, deductions, and unresolved questions will be explained.
- What will I need to do? Clarify which records to save and what changes you should report.
- How do fees and costs work? Read the written terms and ask about any provision you do not understand.
Bring the questions that matter to you
A first conversation can cover the accident, injuries, insurers involved, available records, and concerns about work or daily life. You do not need a perfectly organized file to reach out. A short timeline, any letters you received, and a list of your questions can help make that discussion useful.
If something is urgent, describe the issue and any stated date when contacting the firm. Sending an inquiry does not stop a deadline or establish representation. The firm must evaluate whether it can accept the matter.
Clear fees alongside clear communication
The firm’s personal injury contingency attorney fee is 32% of gross recovery before case costs. No upfront attorney fee is required. With no recovery, clients owe no attorney fee and no case costs. Expenses and other deductions affect the amount a client may receive; the written agreement explains the terms.
See the 32% fee explanation and hypothetical calculator. A fee percentage is only one part of choosing representation. Consider the attorney’s role, the explanation of the process, and whether your questions are answered clearly.
